Alpha Ah-hah's continue
I think I need review therapy already.
I now see the world through a different lens (and so does my bank account!). Everywhere I go, I think review. I walk down the street, walk into my kids schools, see a play, take a cooking class, read a magazine. I now think- ah hah! I can review it!
60 reviews was a breeze.
I just started writing about things I am passionate about. Before I knew it, I had 60 reviews. And, the proof is in the pudding. Libby, our featured reviewer last week, has nearly surpassed me. Patty, Jo and Cat are close after. Anne has reached 180+ reviews. And, Bryan wrote 10 reviews in 3 days. Wow!
So many categories, so many options
As you all know, we are a totally open network. That means you can rate and review any product or service you want. I have managed to make a mark in the baby's and kids category. However, I just scratched the service of my travel reviews. I could write forever! I love the opportunities are endless.
I love my profile page-- but love others more!
On my profile page of the site, I can post photos of my family, receive compliments, see all my reviews, see fans of my work and read others reviews. (I can see the newest reviews from my "friends and fans") But, more importantly, I love exploring everyone else's profile pages. I like seeing photos of where they live, the kids, their passions, their love for nature, etc. I am thrilled to get to know all these great people! P.S. I have invited my husband and brother on to "test" for me since I know they will be brutally honest. So if you stumble upon them, tell them how lucky they are to have me (hehehehehe)!
I have realized more than ever that to be successful, you need to be one with the community. Running a company from afar just doesnt work. You need to know the community, appreciate the community and listen to their voice. And, we do! On a daily basis, we listen attentively, incorporate feedback from our test reviewers and refine the service.
This is such a great ride and we are lucky to have such great passengers!
One month to go before we open the doors! I cant wait to have you all there.

You are all doing a great job. Thank you!
Now re: the ever present review in your mind. It can be a problem. I won't review movies because I can't enjoy them if I think I'm going to review whatever I'm watching.
You will start dreaming Viewpoints. You will have a pad of paper (or your Blackberry) and pen with you at all times to take notes. You will have products all over the place ready to review. You will start lists of what you want to review.
You will start to drive people around you crazy with "Viewpoints this and Viewpoints that." They'll be listening to the review you read and what you want to buy. They'll be listening (or at some point stop) to the little tidbits you read about you.
You will be or are addicted:)
